Answer 1

Answer: 12 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

sales tax= $74.17

$74.17 + $899 = $973.17

that's how much you need

you're saving 15% of your weekly pay of $565

15% of $565 = $84.75

so, you save $84.75 each week

$973.17 divided by $84.75 = 12 (rounded to nearest whole number)

so, it will take you about 12 weeks to save enough to buy the iPhone
